Nao Utsumi has been living in London since he was just 18 years old, he fled his native Japan with the dream of making shoes at Cordwainers, the most formidable shoe school in Britain. During his time there he realised another talent and passion for jewellery making. After starting out selling silver jewellery at Spitalfields Market, RU.ST Jewellery was born in 2003, as a men's jewellery line of mostly silver jewellery and leather accessories.

After gaining BA Hons in Fine Art at Falmouth, Cornwall in 2001, Artemis Russell, originally from the Isle of Wight, moved to London where she quickly learnt the basics of silver and gold smithing along side Nao in 2003, and soon turned to ladies jewellery designing, photography and marketing.
